What else can I help you with?
Can you take Sudafed non drowsy with ibuprofen?
You should not take Excedrin Migraine and Ibuprofen together, because Excedrin Migraine (and regular Excedrin Extra Strength) contains Aspirin, which is in the same NSAID category that Ibuprofen is. Taking them together can increase the risk of damage to the stomach lining, which can cause ulcers. It is not recommended to even take Ibuprofen with the low-dose aspirin used to prevent heart attack and stroke, because Ibuprofen can wipe out the protective quality you are taking the low-dose aspirin for. Excedrin Tension Headache contains the Acetaminophen and Caffeine, but not the Aspirin, and this would be safe to take with Ibuprofen.

A quick Google search reveals to me that the product Excedrin is actually a product that contains a combination of drugs: paracetamol, aspirin and caffeine. The aspirin component is an anti-inflammatory drug. However, at the dose that is contained in the Excedrin products (about 250mg), it's unlikely to have any substantial anti-inflammatory effects.
How do you releive headache?
Headaches are usually a symptom of an underlying problem. If you get headaches more than once or twice a week, you may want to do some research on chronic headaches. For occasional headaches, Ibuprofen is sufficient in relieving pain. Follow the guidelines on the package. I wouldn't recommend using a product like Excedrin, which contains caffeine, because the caffeine can actually cause you to have a rebound headache the following day. This is also true for continuing use of OTC pain killers, which is why I have recommended you look into causes of chronic headaches if that is the case with you.
